"No it's just that one is too small on top. It's nice but...I need to be able to breathe!" Rachel explained while moving on to the next outfit. Was she going to find anything worth buying today? She noticed something strange about it as she looked at the tag. Hope flickered. The peasant girl outfit was actually her size! Yet it had a red clearance tag. **There must be a catch** she thought. The cute pleated bust had enough material to contain even her impressive assets. The stylish top was designed to hang loosely over the shoulders. A ribbon laced all the way around the top and could be pulled into bow in front. This allowed the wearer to control how much cleavage was showing. The short sleeves could be worn on or off the shoulder. That's when Rachel realized the catch. The ribbon was missing from the top. Without the ribbon, only a thin elastic band kept the large opening in place. The material draped precariously over her mounds flirting with disaster at any moment. That moment arrived when Rachel bent down to step into the knee length skirt. The shirt gave up its battle with gravity and slid off her shoulders like water; pooling at her waist. Eric's mom could see Rachel about to reject the outfit over that flaw. She had to intervene "Don't worry about that ribbon. I can replace it at home. Overall this is a better fit than anything else you've tried on so far" then with a wink "Besides, you keep complaining about tight clothes. You can sure breathe in this, right?" Rachel finished stepping into the matching skirt before pulling the peasant girl blouse back up. It stayed up if she kept her arms raised slightly. Any lowering would cause it to slide back off her shoulders and nearly expose her breasts. Once she buttoned up the skirt she understood how this outfit got into the clearance section in the first place. The pleated wrap around skirt had a plaid pattern and off center buttons in front. It was her size and a cute style. In fact, it fit her perfectly. The top missing button was its only problem really; but clearly the reason it had been moved to clearance. Despite having to keep one hand on her waist to hold the skirt up Rachel talked herself into liking the outfit. If Eric's mom could fix the blouse and replace a single button on the skirt she might have something worth wearing. She looked back over the clearance rack with a new eye. Maybe she had overlooked some other cute things which would fit her. She didn't trust Eric's mom. She had to take matters into her own hands if she was going to get out of here with decent options. But it was too late to get engaged in the shopping process. "Attention shoppers. The store is closing in 5 minutes. This is your last chance to make purchases. We thank you for the chance to serve you today and look forward to seeing you again in the near future!" Rachel looked at Eric's mom with alarm. She was more worried about the threat of going home `empty handed' than anything else. Eric's mom seized the opening. "Well that's that. No more time to try on outfits. It's a shame. There were so many other things we needed too. Just have to count everything we have so far and make do." The list of completed outfits was very short. Counting Lily's dress they only had 3 outfits for school; and two would require significant alterations before wearing. There was no other way for Rachel to describe the shopping trip except unmitigated disaster. Eric's mom quickly held up a couple more outfits as she added up the prices in her head. "Just have to take a guess at these. I think they'll work. If not I should be able to modify them without too much trouble. Let's see, that should get us up to 5 outfits. Still need to get that nightgown..." she looked at Rachel's bare feet "and did you want to get some shoes?" A new pair of shoes was high on Rachel's wish list. She nodded vigorously just as Eric's mom had hoped. "We'll have to split up. I'll take these things and checkout. I can stop by the intimates section on the way and pick up some socks and a nightgown" the fear in Rachel's eyes made her quickly add "Don't worry, I'll make sure it's not so restrictive as the last one. I have a pretty good idea of your size by now." She handed Rachel some money "Here's $15. You head over to the shoe department. I know it's not much, but it's all you have left and you can pick out something nice and sensible with that. When you're done go ahead and checkout. I'll meet you at the car." Rachel took the money and watched Eric's mom gather up the outfits with a sense of urgency "Snap out of it Rachel. We must hurry now." Then she was gone. It took several seconds before the reality set in. Rachel had a job to do. She had to get to the shoe department and checkout before the store closed in less than 5 minutes. She didn't like being rushed. How could anyone pick out the right pair of shoes in a matter of minutes with only $15 dollars? Standing around like a statue wasn't helping though. She broke out of her stupor and took two big steps in the right direction. Immediately her skirt slipped off her hips and shot to the ground almost tripping her. In taking the money from Eric's mom she had removed her hand from her waist. The blouse would have been long enough to barely cover her intimate areas except she had to keep her other hand raised. The blouse sat skewed on her body. It covered from one shoulder down to the opposite hip but it was obvious she was naked underneath. Rachel looked around quickly thankful that no one else was around to see the accidental strip. She vowed to avoid any further wardrobe missteps at least until the outfit could be properly repaired. Then she pulled her skirt back up and cautiously resumed her trek. With one hand on her skirt and the other holding the money at shoulder level in front of her she made good time to the shoe department. She figured she had about 1 minute to pick out a pair of sensible shoes and checkout. **This is impossible! Everything was too expensive beyond plastic lounge shoes or flip flops. Rachel frantically scanned the aisles looking for anything else that would work. She caught the eye of and employee. She didn't want attention right now but she needed his help. "Miss, this department is closed. You need to head to the exit." His eyes got wide as he approached. The beauty standing before him was flashing body parts left and right. Rachel looked at him with pleading eyes, "please. I just need one pair of shoes but I don't have a lot of money. Do you have a clearance rack or something?" "Like I said this department is already closed" her body deflated at his response causing her top to shift enticingly over her ample assets. He looked her up and down. Her skirt sat low on her hips. **She must be wearing skimpy panties** Then noticed she was barefoot. She stood there holding her outfit together and nervously shifting her weight while he deliberated. He was supposed to close his department early to ensure it was clean before quitting time. What if he stayed open a few more minutes? Would his manager ever know? Was he willing to risk his job just on the chance she would flash something inadvertently? The scene before him weakened his rationality and made up his mind for him. "I suppose I can make an exception just this once" her entire body perked up and her face beamed. "We have a few clearance items over here." It was a gamble for sure, but he was willing to take the risk for just the chance at seeing what she was struggling to hide from view. Rachel followed him past a few aisles to a far wall. Being the clearance section there were no seats nearby. There were also no shoes on display. Only boxes stacked up from floor to ceiling. He asked her size and quickly pulled out a few selections. Rachel could never have sorted through the hundreds of boxes without his help. She was silently thankful for his sudden change in attitude. She didn't know it yet, but Rachel was about to reward his kindness in the most embarrassing way possible. The gamble he made by assisting her was about to hit the jackpot...TO BE CONTINUEDthornwood-ep2-part-33
